Based on my understanding of the Broadcasting Act 1988, I’ve to disagree with the statement because freedom of expression and censorship policy are both essential to a country’s development and growth. Censorship policy is a necessity for media because content that is published through the media must always be checked and filtered in order to prevent harmful and misleading content to reach the public. Examples are sex-related scenes, violence, and gore scenes, and some to the extent of causing racial...

An injustice to one civilian can spread and create injustices across the country to hundreds of people. In Dr. King’s letter from Birmingham, he states, “I cannot sit by… and not be concerned about… Injustice anywhere is a threat to rights everywhere.” (King, 1).

The movie I chose is called Girl, Interrupted. This movie is an older one but I thought it was a really well-done movie. Angelina Jolie is an absolutely phenomenal actress. Her performance alone is worth watching the movie for. The cinematography was innovative, but not distractingly so– “Girl Interrupted” shines primarily for its dramatic power, not as a mind-blowing work of art. It will certainly probe you to question your way of seeing the world– at least psychologically. The movie...

I think the relationship in Seurat’s work, between the project to “restore painting’s cultural significance,” and the “mass culture” that he sought to address is the demonstration of alienation in his paintings of society. This theme greatly connects with two paintings by Georges Seurat, which are A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of the Grande Jatte, 1884-6. Oil on canvas and Chahut 1889-90, Oil on canvas. Seurat’s painting of the Grande Jatte shows women, men, and children from all classes...
